Interview with Heather Hubbard
Last year I was listening to a podcast episode called “unCorporate Manifesto” that opened my eyes to the impact of the physicality of the corporate environment - from the paint colors to the furniture and decor. It was a dramatic realization and was my introduction to the host of the podcast, Heather Hubbard.
Heather became a partner, leading at a law firm at a young age. After some big life changes, she shifted her career focus to one where she was in the driver’s seat.
Learn how Heather goes all-in, despite her fear, and the power she has realized from speaking her truth and being honest. We also talk more about the podcast episode that originally caught my attention and drew me to her.
